My toes are froze and so’s my nose
I’m dressed in several layers of clothes
But what the heck
I’m on the deck
Embracing these winter weather woes
Enjoying this pastime that I chose!
It is below freezing here in North Georgia, which (oddly enough) just happens to be my favorite time to take pictures…especially when I want to play with a new toy that I got for Christmas – an ifootage Cobra 3 monopod.
I went out early and filled the feeders to overflowing, but the real lure in the winter weather is the fresh supply of water. Here are two handfuls of birds that showed up for a drink and were willing to pose while I practiced.
Eastern Phoebe
Downy Woodpecker
House Finch
White-throated Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
Pine Warbler
Carolina Chickadee
American Goldfinch
Mourning Dove
and an Eastern Towhee.
Spending the day out on the deck taking pictures of birds in the cold winter weather just seemed like a wonderful way to close out the posts for 2025! Here’s hoping that the year ahead holds many more beautiful birds for us to enjoy together!

Thanks for sharing! I love looking at photos of birds in Georgia. I’m in a city in New Hampshire and have no bird feeders!
My pleasure! Thank you for visiting!
What a treat to see, fine photos 😊
Passion=excellence! Happy new year, Kathy. 🥳
Happy New Year to you as well!
Nice to meet you! I subscribed today because I enjoy birds too. There’s a very nice variety in this post today.
Welcome! Nice to have you along for the ride!
Not sure what “freezing” means in North Georgia, but here in New Jersey it’s been between about 23 °F and 32 °F for the past two weeks.
Happy New Year.
We were hanging around those same temps for several days…but today is back in the high 50’s. Downright balmy!
50°F? Yes, please! Sadly, that’s just a distant fantasy while I shiver while standing in the outdoor freeze. 🙂
What a beautiful photos! And birds..and perfect outdoor activity.
Thank you for sharing! As a bird lover, I always love seeing different birds, especially those that aren’t found here.
